How to use "Misdirect" in context?
People often misdirect themselves by overlooking key tendencies of their behaviors in favor of other more focused tendencies. It is important to not overlook these tendencies because they may be more frequently used. For example, people often misdirect themselves when it comes to their eating habits by focusing more on restrictive diets and avoiding certain foods than they do on the overall food composition of a meal. While it is important to focus on the food composition of a meal, it is also important to pay attention to the overall eating pattern and the amount of food that a person eats. To misdirect oneself in this way is to overlook important tendencies and can ultimately lead to weight gain or obesity.
